Get matched with top grout: replace or repairers in Belle Chasse, LA

"SUMMARY: SES did high quality work. They stuck to the projected cost. They finished within the estimated timeframe (or at least close enough). PRELIMINARY STAGES: SES promptly returned our initial call and set up a visit by their estimator. Within a very reasonable timeframe (maybe a little more than a week), we had the estimate in hand. In contrast, we were shocked to see how difficult it was to deal with some other contractors--even in the early stage, when we were trying to give them business. DETAILS OF THE JOB: They gutted ~50% of a ~180 sq ft bathroom to the studs; did some framing/re-framing; removed a large tub and patched in some hardwood; completely re-did the mortar bed/tile/plumbing for the shower; re-routed an HVAC intake to a different part of the house; moved/added some plumbing and electrical; installed a new commode and tile floor in a new toilet closet; hung crown molding; installed a double vanity with a stone top; hung a large mirror and frameless shower door; built out 2 closets. QUALITY. Their renovation was high quality and fit perfectly into our 1930’s arts-and-crafts home. They found, sanded, and painted an old 5 panel door to match the doors in rest of the house. The salvaged/refinished pine floor fits into the existing pine floor seamlessly, and the new trim work matches that in the rest of the house. Their tile guy did an outstanding job on the shower—floor to ceiling with a bullnose and a niche. The subs they used for the vanity/stone top and for the mirror/shower door did a high quality job. We designed our closets and the trim carpenter built them out perfectly (soft-close drawers and all). COMMUNICATION. This was a big asset to the SES experience. Ashley kept us posted with an email almost every day. We knew what to expect when we got home from work, as well as what to look for the next day and the rest of the week. In the rare event that there were surprises or delays, Ashley would let us know right away as well as what the resolution would be. While Ashley was the main line of communication, the owner, Shawn, was very accessible as well when necessary. PROFESSIONALISM. All the people we interacted with were professional and punctual. The workers were respectful of us and our home, and they did a great job cleaning up every day. With very few exceptions, people were at the house every weekday (and even some weekend days), from the start to the finish of the project. THE UNEXPECTED. As the work proceeded, some minor structural damage from the old shower had to be addressed and the hot water heater needed some repairs. These were taken care off in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Otherwise, there were a few miscommunications regarding the electrical rough ins, a plumbing valve, the closet build outs, and the shower door. All these were very minor and easily addressed. Along the way—and especially as things neared the end—Shawn made sure we had everything exactly the way we wanted it. This was our first time hiring a contractor. Before our renovation, we had heard many contractor-related horror stories. Our experience with SES was drastically different. We are already scheduling another project with them."

"Jay was very professional, quick to respond and arrived on time for each appointment. Jay had great ideas on solutions to our issue. We hired GroutWorks to re-seal our master shower; Jay used high quality materials and finished the job in the time estimated. Prior to hiring Groutworks, we received a thorough email estimate showing all charges. We felt the job was reasonably priced. We appreciated the care and attention to detail and the short time between contract and actually getting the job done. We will definitely be recommending Jay/GroutWorks to family and friends."

"I live in an area where we have well water.  The water periodically comes out a rust color.  Through the years of my water coming out this color, it had severely discolored my tub and shower.  It was so severe, that my white tub was taking on a faux marble effect.  All underneath the jets/filter in my tub had drip marks. I had bought every cleaner on the market to try and make my tub and shower white again but had no luck. I realized that the rust color had penetrated the surfaces in my tub and shower and there was no hope in cleaning them without getting professional help. I went on Angie's list and contacted Tub Pro Refinishing.

• Bryan came out and gave me an estimate not only to refinish my tub and shower but to also take off my shower doors that I could not get clean either.  Bryan came at the time he promised and gave me a reasonable estimate.  A few weeks later I contacted him to do the job and I cannot say how much I loved his work!  It looks like I have a new tub and shower.  Bryan is not only personable but professional.  I would highly recommend him to anyone.

"They deserve their A reputation!  They were very responsive and picked up the rug the same day I called, since they were in the area. They quoted a price to clean it on the phone and were a little less than that, since the physical measurements of the rug were smaller than I originally told them. They came to the house, measured the rug and explained their cleaning process. They also gave advice about the use and care of wool rugs. They returned the rug within 10 days, and the results were amazing! I also opted to invest in a good rug pad  which they custom cut for the rug. It added to the $215.00 total but was a good investment in a rug I hope to have for a long time. They were wonderful and I will definitely use them again!!

"I called the expert team of hometown restoration to replace my old roof as the rainy season was coming, and I wanted to avoid those leakages on my roof. Irritating! But searching for the ideal team to repair my roof was more than annoying. My friend recently took the service of hometown restoration to fix their roof issues and got a fantastic output. So, I decided to call their experts and speak about all the problems I was facing. Firstly, they inspected the roof condition and then suggested to us the most efficient and reliable solution. It was a good suggestion, and we received a high-quality shingle. If we needed roofing again on our house, I would call them! Truly a great experience to work with them!"

"The roof was inspected and some minor caulking was done. He was very professional and did not try to add any unnecessary repairs. Would definitely use Grasso again."

"The work was excellent. Eldon Bazile was very conscientious. He took his time to assure the carpet were thoroughly cleaned."

"I recently had ceramic tile work completed in my home, and the results exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, skill, and an eye for detail that transformed my space."

"We needed to have two bathrooms remodeled within a specific time frame. We did not have previous experience with this type of remodel and needed some direction. We met with an architect and other contractors. The architect would have been suitable for major renovation and the contractor required a specific build plan. We contacted Chas and Ryan of Olver Enterprises, who provided guidance from start to finish. They specialize in this type of remodel, were knowledgeable and patient throughout. The work was completed by our deadline and we are really pleased with the results. It is worth mentioning that we also required full interior paint, which Olver was able to subcontract out. And those painters also did a nice job. Overall a great experience. Olver Enterprises is a family business and we highly recommend."

"Excel Renovations did an OUTSTANDING job in handling our home repairs need following two separate hurricanes. In both instances we found their work to be superior and the work was done on time and on budget. We know them to be reliable and dependable - and will certainly use them again in the future, as the need arrises."
